    He showed exactly why he should be preffered over Tsunoda too.

    Or rather Tsunoda showed why he shouldn’t be first in line for the seat.

      Uff, tsunoda is better than he used to be, hut he doesn’t look like he’s got much more potential to give, unfortunately.

        He just needs to learn patience, when to go and not when not to go for it. Currently he just gets too flustered and makes stupid mistakes

          Let’s remember young Verstappen. Extremely fast, and making way too many stupid mistakes similar to Tsunoda’s. Once he learnt some patience he just rose to another level and has stayed there since.

            Eh, the difference is that Verstappen showed more than enough moments of genuine brilliance (Brazil 2016 springs to mind) to suggest that Red Bull had a rough diamond worth refining and building a team around. We’ve never really seen anything from Yuki to suggest that he’s worthy of that type of faith or investment. Were it not for his Honda sponsorship I’m doubtful he would still have a seat.

            Rookie Verstappen showed significantly more promise than current yuki. That’s fine though, we’re not going to get a grid of 20 Verstappens and we shouldn’t try for that. Yuki is a good driver, he just needs to learn to not get so flustered and that will come with time for him just like it did for so many other young men around the world
